Description:
Paris: G. Chaudière, 1585. Contemporary olive gilt-ruled morocco (corners bumped, light scuffs, faded) WITH THE BACHELOR ARMS OF JACQUES AUGUSTE DE THOU and his largest cipher in the gilt-ruled spine compartments (O-H-R 216, fers 1 & 3), all edges gilt. EDITIO PRINCEPS of two thirds of Isidore of Pelusium's letters, among the largest epistolary collections of early monasticism. The remaining letters were published in two supplements, twenty and forty years later, respectively. Isidore addressed Emperor Theodosius II about tax relief and was on a first-name basis with bishops, local monks, common soldiers and professionally literary elites. This correspondence treats Greek authors, rhetoric, Scriptural commentary, government, women, disease, Jews, sex and seduction, predestination, heretics - in short "the vicissitudes of ecclesiastical, monastic, civic and intellectual life in a newly Christianized Roman Empire" (Larsen). It is a major source for early 5th-century social customs…

The congregants sing the remaining verses and their melodies from memory. In the early 1520s Kunadis issued a series of Greek service books. With those same types and blocks, Giacomo Leoncini produced liturgical books in…
